2015 Map of Crawford Notch

About this map

Crawford Notch and Zealand Notch define the high-altitude topography of this portion of the White Mountain National Forest. The landscape is a network of steep drainages and prominent peaks, including Mt Willard, Mt Field, and Mt Willey, which overlook the winding course of the Saco River and Crawford Notch Rd. This area serves as a critical junction for backcountry travel, where the Appalachian National Scenic Trail traverses the high ridges and passes through notable sites such as Zealand Falls. Numerous other cascades, including Thoreau Falls, Silver Cascade, and Arethusa Falls, mark the various brooks and river forks that drain the interior wilderness. The concentration of named ponds like Ethan Pond and Shoal Pond highlights the glaciated character of these mountain basins.
